DISTANCE EDUCATION

A variety of subjects not offered at Hillcrest are available through Queensland Distance Education for Secondary students and the cost is in addition to our normal College fees.

UNIFORM

Like all Australian schools, the College has a uniform that all students are required to wear appropriately. International students will be assisted to purchase their uniform from the College’s Uniform Shop, during their orientation program.

HOMESTAY

The College can provide homestay and welfare for Years 7 – 12 students. All homestay payments must be paid before students can move into their homestay accommodation. Students who are not using the College International Homestay Program are required to stay with their parents or a biological relative.

The cost of homestay covers meals, accommodation and a family environment. Where possible, homestay parents will transport their students to and from school or on weekends for social activities. If this is not possible, students may use the College bus service at no additional cost.

COMMUNITY EVENTS AND CELEBRATIONS

Long-term international students are expected to attend main College community events and celebrations. These events may include sports carnivals, performances, and College-organised social events and celebrations.

COLLEGE FEES AND REFUND POLICY

Full fees must be paid by due date and before the commencement of any enrolment, as detailed in the Letter of Offer.

Failure to pay the College fees by the due date,will result in a late fee of $75 applied to the student’s College account.
